BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A senior leader of an al Qaeda-linked group has been arrested in Iraq, state television Iraqiya said on Friday.

Iraqiya did not say whether U.S. or Iraqi troops had arrested Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, a body set up by al Qaeda's Iraq wing and other Sunni militant groups in October.
